Event Review: CharIN at Power2Drive Europe 2026

Midweek, alongside its presence on the show floor, CharIN held its second Steering Committee Meeting of 2026, bringing together members of the organization's leadership to discuss strategic priorities, membership topics, and ongoing activities.

On the final day of the exhibition, CharIN hosted the panel discussion "Vehicle-to-Grid in Practice: Value Creation Across the Entire Energy Ecosystem." Experts from OEMs, testing companies, and technology providers discussed the current state of bidirectional charging, covering interoperability, technical implementation, business models, customer acceptance, and the integration of V2G into future energy systems.

"Power2Drive Europe once again showed how far the industry has come on interoperability and bidirectional charging, and how much work still lies ahead to bring these solutions to scale. Events like this in Munich are where the progress is checked against real industry feedback, and that exchange is exactly what moves our standardization work forward."

Claas Bracklo, Chairman of CharIN

Power2Drive Europe once again provided an opportunity for technical exchange across the charging ecosystem. CharIN would like to thank everyone who visited the booth, participated in the discussions, and contributed to the conference sessions throughout the week.
